I am glad to see that everyone is waking up to the 2.0 idea. We are
currently talking with google to get our project better resources and =
needs.
They have a great bug system and have now given us the idea of hosting =
our
releases on their discussion groups. We are also getting some more =
space
for our svn as their initial offerings were 100 mb. We are now moving
forward to product Rainbow 2.0 Beta 1. This will include many =
enhancements
all around the code as well as most to all changes that were done by the
Rainbow 1.6 developers. We do owe everything to them for making such a
great project over the past 3 years. I ask that if you worked on a
particular part and would like to work on that part on the 2.0, then by =
all
means drop me an email. Beta 1 is basically all the enhancements over =
the
past year which include : Http compression, XHTML Modules, UI Fixes, API
System that separates core systems into assemblies, Updated assemblies =
for
the 2.0 framework, SQL Server 2005 compatible ( all versions),
pre-configured versions with SQL server 2005 attach files, etc. We are
still updating the list as we go. We are mainly concentrated on getting =
the
code back to normal functioning level as we had to break it in places to
deploy 2.0 fixes. Now that the code understands that its user lever is
abstracted out to ASPNETDB [ ASPNETDB now runs rainbow users, roles, web
events, web part events, sql server 2005 cache dependencies ]and the =
modules
understand; we are not just trying to squash little bugs. Rainbow now =
by
default goes to a web installation. We sitll have some bugs but it =
does
things like environmental checking [ as in .NET 2.0 ready and web.config
editable ]and then pushes you to install so you have a crisp install. I
will soon post a beta 1 for all to test. I ask that you grab this code =
and
just do normal installs in different settings and report bugs on google.
Thats it. Our core team can handle the fixes. More and more people are
asking to join the team and are more than welcome. Im not some dictator =
I
just think that Rainbow can be more than what it is. I use it everyday =
in
projects and Ive had sites up for years. =20
